Michael Ellerman d3b814bb1e [POWERPC] Generalise device_node flag interface
The struct device_node currently has a _flags variable, although
it's only used for one flag - OF_DYNAMIC.  Generalise the flag
accessors so we can use them with other flags in future.

Our device-tree unflattening code makes sure the name and type fields

David Gibson 30437b3e74 [POWERPC] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrd
At present, when an initrd is passed to the kernel used flat device
tree properties, the memory the initrd occupies must also be reserved
in the flat tree's reserve map, or the kernel may overwrite it.  That
makes life more complicated than it could be for the bootwrapper.

This patch makes the kernel automatically reserve the initrd's space.
That in turn requires parsing the initrd parameters earlier than they
are currently, in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() instead of
check_for_initrd().

David Gibson eb6de28637 [POWERPC] Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() calls
At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice
for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour.

This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with
memory reserve map.  Which regions are automatically reserved by the
kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel
could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed
in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble.

This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to
reserve a previously reserved region.  It also removes a now redundant
test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above.

At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an
identical region.  Attempting to reserve two different, but
overlapping regions will still cause problems.  I might post another
patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it
is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur
and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

Paul Mackerras 0204568a08 [POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information.  This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.

The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation.  There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using.  This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly.  Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000).  Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

Paul Mackerras 974a76f513 [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
entries appropriately.

Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.

Geoff Levand c1ce464d29 [POWERPC] Minor fix for bootargs property
Avoid the use of an uninitialized stack variable when the powerpc device tree
bootargs property is either missing or incorrectly defined.  This also makes
CONFIG_CMDLINE work properly under these conditions.  This change adds a test
for the existence of the bootargs property.

early_init_dt_scan_chosen() tests for a zero length bootargs property in its
CONFIG_CMDLINE processing, but the current implementation of
of_get_flat_dt_prop() doesn't assign a value to the length when no property is
found.  Since an automatic variable is used, a stale value from the stack will
be used in the test.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0ebfff1491 [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it
This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
in bisecting).

This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
new code now.

For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.

The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
(including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
have a proper interrupt tree.

Paul Mackerras bf72aeba2f powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pages
Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages.  This patch lets us use 64k hardware
pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y).  User processes
start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
non-cacheable mappings.

With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
the imalloc region.  If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
though, and these machines don't have AGP.

When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately.  We
use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages.  If hash_page is
trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
before inserting the 4k HPTE.  The hash invalidation routines also use
the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
set of 4k HPTEs to remove.  With those two changes, we can tolerate a
mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
removed when the address space is torn down.

We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

features are implemented by the CPU.  This adds code to use the
property, if present, to update our CPU feature bitmaps.  Note that
this means we can both set and clear feature bits based on what
the firmware tells us.

This is based on a patch by Will Schmidt <willschm@us.ibm.com>.

Olof Johansson 2889773131 [PATCH] powerpc: Lower threshold for DART enablement to 1GB
Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.

Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).

iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

Anton Blanchard 4df20460a3 [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuids
We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread
to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will
differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on
kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping
from boot to boot.

The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid
of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match.

Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be
consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.
